THE RULES:

College Football Pick'em Pool

Goal

To accumulate the most points throughout the regular college football season by correctly predicting the winners of a set of football games.

Teams Used For The Pool

The pool commissioner selects which teams your pool will use when he sets up the pool (the Season Pass). The commissioner can also pick individual games each week. Game selections should be finalized by Sunday at midnight before the week's upcoming games.

Making Your Selections

Each week you need to pick the winner of each game (either straight up or vs. the spread - depending upon your pool). If your pool is a weighted pool, you also need to apply confidence points - the higher the confidence you have in being right, the more points you should assign to the game. If your pool has 10 games, the games will be worth between 1 and 10 points. If you are not using the weighted option, all games are worth 1 point each. You score the points for the game if you correctly pick the winner.

When Are Picks Due

Picks are due before the games start - and all picks are locked at noon on Saturday. So if you have a Thursday night game, you must make your pick on that game before it kicks off. However, you will still be able to change your other picks after that game up until the other games start or noon Saturday, whichever occurs first.

Default Picks (Optional)

If your commissioner chooses this option: If you forget to get your picks in you'll get the default picks - which is the home team in each game. For default confidence points, the points are given in alphabetical order of the home team - highest confidence points first.

For week 1 we will go with the 10 top games but I will add a game or two extra in some weeks when it makes sense.
